Going to California Lyrics

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there’s a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her...

    It's all about plant's infatuation with Joni Mitchell who spent a lot of time living in california and writing about california..And the line isn't "a making in my heart"..Its "going to california with an aching in my heart"

    I thought this song was about going to california to become a star, because he has a verse that says "going to california with a making in my heart"

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    This song was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song "California" sometimes live Robert Plant would call out "Joni" name after the lyric "To find a queen without a king; They say she plays guitar and cries and sings."
